| I see the method of choosing the emoticons to be used in the actual posts. But, is there anyway I can add a few other post icons that appear in the thread list beside the subject line? |

| I don't believe there is a way to do it. |

I have figured out how to change the icon which is displayed during the post screen. I changed it to an icon I have uploaded to my personal site. However, when I choose that icon as a post icon, it displays the original icon that was associated with that particular "spot" where I replaced the original icon.
Example: there is an exclamation mark as a post icon. I was able to not have the icon display when in the post form--I can get mine to appear instead. However, when that thread appears in the thread line up, my icon is not displayed but rather the exclamation mark is.
So, each line of coding for each icon is as follows: | Code: | <input type="radio" class="radiobutton" name="iconid" value="9" />
<img src="{ibf.vars.img_url}/icon9.gif" align='middle' alt='' /> |
Each icon changes only by the number shown (8, 9, 10 etc.).
My question is this. When I change the coding as follows: | Code: |
type="radio" class="radiobutton" name="iconid" value="9" />
<img src="MY OWN LINK TO MY PERSONAL SITE PLACED HERE" align='middle' alt='' />
|
How/where do I change the first part to link to my own icon? I would need to change what is associated with the value="9" part.
Any ideas on this? Thank you so much for any help! |

You cant do that, however it appears that you can use other icons that are apart of the board. The information that you need to change along with the image is value="9".
So if you wanted to use icon 35 (if there is one).
| Code: |
<input type="radio" class="radiobutton" name="iconid" value="35" />
<img src="{ibf.vars.img_url}/icon35.gif" align='middle' alt='' />

I guess you can't because they use a different naming convention for the rest of the smiles. Would have thought it would be the same.  |

DAG NABBIT! Just when I was on to something! I see on someone else's PHPBB version that a small blue dot appears in the thread subject column for various threads. I don't know if that applies somehow for ipbb as I could not even locate how to do it on my old phpbb as a test.
My goal is to display a colored dot somewhere beside the thread subject list. The choices are either the post icon (which I don't find a useful one there and now see it can not be changed) or this "blue dot" method. I even tried html tags in the topic description field thinking it would work as I did in the forum title descriptions.
If I make the topics sticky, that negates ANY post icon associated with that thread. I just want to be able to show a "status" of certain threads with the yellow, blue, red light method.
If anyone else has any other suggestions on how I could do this I sure would love to hear about it.
And, just when I was able to save a free image as a .gif instead of a .bmp !!
EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention this. I see a reply earlier regarding this that directed to this thread:
http://www.myfreebulletinboard.com/forum/i...p?showtopic=131
But, I can not figure out why I can not read it. Is it part of this board? I log in and get an error message.
EDIT II: I see the link that links back to this board so I thought there may be a similar post about the post icons somewhere here. |

Here I am replying to another two year old post!!
I tried every which way of doing this tonight and came up with poor results. If only I could replace that "value=35" part. All I need to do is tell the software to insert xxxx image in such-and-such spot, that is, using image tags or HTML coding. I wish all of this was easier and more user friendly--I am getting frustrated as of late with this "language." |
